    Where can I find a list of what is currently in stock RED accessories (plenty of supply) versus what is backordered (would have to wait if ordered today). In particular, which RED lenses are in stock and have no waiting list or backorder list?

    Tried to find this via search but could not.

    This is obviously the one drawback with Red, availability of product. I'm probably being naiive but surely if demand is there (and it CLEARLY is) surely it should be possible to find folks to make the parts, others to assemble them and then to ship? Shoot me down for my overly simplistic view please!

    Just guessing here, but I had to mount the RODS in the top handle before I got the baseplate/dovetail. Actually quite neat.

    I have them now, but have not used a FF. I have used several matteboxes, though, both swing on and clip on. Chroziel. Besides my (not so) lovely Lomo, I have more or less constantly rented a set of Superspeeds since I got my Red... Ones attitude towards glass have changed...
